Chapter 181: Husband and wife
Zhao Mo and Qin Hanzhen chatted happily for a while before reluctantly saying goodbye and leaving. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There's no way, he still has to go out, after all, it's the reason he said in front of Qin Hanzhen, he can't beat himself up, right? What's more, Qin Hanzhen's obviously sleepy appearance also made him can't bear to continue to delay her rest time. After a few words, he left Mingyuewu.
He was about to return to Yan, change his clothes and go out. When he passed by the gate of the Songfeng Hall, he was a little surprised to see Qin Bai walking out of the courtyard. He didn't hide the surprise on his face, and stepped forward to salute: "Uncle and grandpa." ”
Qin Bai smiled and nodded at him, "Where did you just come from?"
"Yes. Zhao Mo replied respectfully, "I just heard about something, and I was worried that my cousin would feel uncomfortable, so I went over to comfort me." Fortunately, my cousin was very open-minded and in a good mood, saying that she had just gone to Taohuaxuan and reconciled with Miss Qin. ”
"Oh?" Qin Bai was really surprised by this, and said with a smile, "Hanzhen, this kid, is always so sensible. I didn't expect her to do this. Although it is just a trivial matter, my granddaughter doesn't have to swallow her anger, but it is really rare for her to have such a heart. ”
Zhao Mo smiled: "Yes, I was also very surprised. My cousin's temperament is really likable. ”
Qin Bai was in a good mood: "You are not bad, I was worried that she would be sad, so I went to comfort her." In fact, you don't have to worry, this time, she didn't suffer at all. With me and her grandmother here, who can really bully her?"
Zhao Mo smiled: "Although I know that my cousin is protected by my uncle and grandfather and grandmother, and she will never suffer, but she has always gotten along well with me." Even if it's just to make her laugh, it's a bit of a effort. I also hope that my cousin will always be happy and never have troubles. My cousin is smart and sensible, so I don't know what I can do for her. It's just a few words of comfort, and that's what comes to my heart. I said I was going to the store in the afternoon, and I asked her if she wanted me to buy something delicious and fun? But my cousin not only didn't have a snack, but asked me how well the leather store was prepared. ”
Qin Bai said with a smile: "That kid has this benefit, he used to be just naughty and mischievous to make people angry, but now he is more sensible and caring." With her in front of us, our husband and wife have a much happier life. Thinking of the change in his granddaughter, it started with the death of his eldest daughter-in-law, Qin Bai couldn't help but sigh again, and felt more and more pity for his granddaughter in his heart.
He said to Zhao Mo: "Since you are going out, then go and come back quickly." That's your business, so you might as well have more snacks. Just don't put all your mind on it and delay your homework. ”
Zhao Mo hurriedly smiled, and solemnly agreed: "Uncle and grandfather, rest assured, Guanglu never dares to delay his homework." ”
Qin Bai nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and left slowly. Zhao Mo saw him leave, looked back at the gate of Songfeng Hall, and felt a little depressed: What is my uncle and grandfather doing in this courtyard? Isn't it time for a lunch break?
But he didn't think much about it, shook his head, and hurried to his own yard.
Inside the Songfeng Hall, Xu let out a long breath. What Qin Bai said to her deeply touched her. She had been looking forward to what he had been saying for many years, and now it was indeed time for it to be realized. If she misses this opportunity, she doesn't know how many years she will be dragged down by the second room!
Don't miss the opportunity again!
She stood up, and Hongyan, who was standing not far away, hurriedly walked over and supported her. The magpie was distracted by the excitement after listening to the conversation between Qin Bai and Xu, and took a step slower, feeling annoyed.
Xu asked, "Is Master Hou still in the East Chamber?" and Hong Yan replied, "Yes, it's in the cuckoo house." ”
The magpie thought that he had found an opportunity, and said with some disdain: "That fox Meizi doesn't know what means to use to attract Hou Ye to wait in front of her every day, and if she goes a little slower, Hou Ye will be angry." The slaves and maids were terrified every day, for fear that this fox would tempt the marquis to make a mistake and violate the holy decree, and the lady would be so tired that the lady would blame the nobles in the palace. Madame still thinks of a way to get rid of the fox earlier. If you really can't get rid of it, you have to tell her to be honest, don't rely on the favor of the Hou Ye, make trouble in front of the lady, and make the family unpeaceful!"
Xu Shi smiled faintly: "What's this? As long as the Hou Ye doesn't make trouble, and honestly stays in this courtyard to recuperate, what does it matter who he wants to wait by his side? The emperor will not even care about such a trivial matter." And don't do anything wrong. She took Hongyan's hand and walked out the door. The magpie was stunned for a moment, and was about to catch up again, but saw Hongyan turn around and wave at her, signaling her not to follow. The magpie gritted its teeth, but after all, it still didn't dare to disobey the order.
Now that she is by her wife's side, she is not as good as before. If she is fighting against Hongyan everywhere like before, she is afraid that she will only suffer, so she should be honest.
Xu took Hongyan's hand to the east chamber, and the first room in the south was the cuckoo's room, which was originally the farthest one from the main house, which happened to match the latter's identity. However, now that Qin Songcheng, the Marquis of Cheng'en, has been staying here every day, all the furniture in the house has been replaced with a new set, and a few people have been added to the waiting. Although the aunts in the courtyard were envious, jealous and hateful, they still couldn't change the result of the cuckoo's status in Songfeng Courtyard.
After Xu entered the door, he saw Qin Song wearing a loose and loose fine kudzu robe, lying casually on the bamboo couch under the window, and the newly dressed cuckoo sat sideways on the edge of the couch, patiently peeling the grape skin for him, and then stuffing it into his mouth. Qin Song shook an ivory silk palace fan in his hand, and he could eat grapes when he opened his mouth, and he was indescribably comfortable. As for the bookcase opposite the bamboo couch, the paper, pen and ink that copied the Buddhist scriptures were all stacked in a mess, and there were more than a dozen paper balls scattered on the ground around the bookcase. At a glance, you can see that Qin Song didn't bother to copy the scriptures at all, and only cared about pleasure.
Xu glanced at the bookcase and didn't say much. The emperor in the palace should not send someone to pick up the scriptures copied by Qin Song to check, if she really sent someone to come, she would have already ordered someone to copy dozens of scriptures on her behalf, ready to prevaricate. As long as Qin Song doesn't make trouble, if he is lazy, the emperor will actually open one eye and close one eye. But it's hard to say, if the emperor is in a bad mood one day and vents his anger with this brother-in-law, what Qin Song did today would be a ready-made handle. The reason why Xu came to her husband was to let him do a few clever things and make the emperor have less grudges against him.
When Xu entered the house, the cuckoo immediately found out, she quickly raised her head and glanced at Xu, then looked at Qin Song, and then got up and saluted Xu: "Madam is here?" Qin Song frowned, didn't get up, only turned his face around, and looked impatient: "What are you doing here?!"
Xu Shi said lightly: "I have something serious to discuss with you, and there must be no idle people present, and others will go out." ”
The cuckoo went to look at Qin Song again, his eyes gloomy. Qin Song's heart softened, so he said with a straight face: "Du Juan is your confidant and mine, what is there that she can't hear?" Du Juan pursed his lips and smiled, glancing at Xu.
Xu's expression was still faint: "Naturally, it is a matter of the children and grandchildren of the family." Does Master Hou really plan to let her stay and listen? I don't care. Now that she is waiting by your side, she should also know the height of her eyebrows, lest she not know anything, so she will open her mouth to discuss the affairs of the court at will, and cause trouble in the future and lose her life in vain. ”
Du Juan's face was frightened, and he reluctantly smiled and said to Qin Song: "Master Hou, since you and your wife are going to discuss serious matters, the concubine still avoided it." The concubine is guarding the door, and if you have something to do, just ask the concubine to come in and wait. Saying that, he saluted Qin Song and Xu respectively, and bowed his head and retreated, but the expression on his face was obviously unhappy.
Qin Song watched his concubine retreat, glanced at his wife, and saw that she was expressionless, and didn't seem very happy, and her mood suddenly improved again: "Say, what's the matter?!"
Hong Yan brought a round stool, placed it three feet away from the bamboo couch, sat down for Xu, and then retreated, and closed the door with his backhand.
She and the cuckoo glanced at each other outside the door, and the cuckoo quickly looked around, winked, and led her to the corner of the verandah. It's a dead end, and you can see the door directly, which is the most convenient.
Seeing that no one was approaching, Hong Yan lowered his voice: "Master Hou has been doing something strange these days?"
The cuckoo's voice was lower: "There is nothing else, it's just that Ah Si from the outer courtyard gave Hou Ye a few times under the pretext of sending good snow wave paper." Hou Ye told me to avoid it every time, and I don't know what they said. It's just that the Xuelang paper is not used to copy the scriptures, and Hou Ye just threw it aside and didn't care about it, but after that, he still asked Ah Si to send it. There must be something strange about this, and my sister must remind Madame to be careful!"
Hong Yan nodded, and his expression became serious.
In the house, Xu Shi unhurriedly told Qin Song about his intentions: "A little thing happened in the house today, it was the girl in the second room who did not cultivate her morals, and provoked the third girl in the third room. She briefly talked about the contradiction between Qin Jinyi and Qin Hanzhen.
Qin Song listened and dismissed: "It's just a fighting spirit among children." The family in the second room was all taught by the shrew of the Xue family, and they had no education at all. The mother of the third house is a country woman, and she can't teach her children. The girls in their two rooms are noisy, and you let them make a fuss and make jokes, and it's not our longhouse's fault. This little thing is worth telling me about?"
Xu Shi smiled: "Of course not. The quarrel between Sister Yi and the three girls is just an introduction. The second wife was very arrogant today in order to protect her granddaughter, and she probably angered the third master. The third master opened his mouth and said the word separation, and said...... The emperor gave him a house, and sooner or later he would have to move out. Since you want to move, why don't you take the opportunity to divide the family of the three rooms?"
She looked at Qin Song: "Hou Ye is looking forward to separating the family, hasn't he been looking forward to it for thirty years? Now that the third master has also opened his mouth, Hou Ye might as well get things done, wouldn't everyone be happy?"
Qin Song slowly sat up straight, and glanced at his wife deeply, with a bit of disbelief in his eyes: "Is this true?!"
